ADGM Issues Guidance on Crypto Mining Licensing
Abu Dhabi’s ADGM has issued guidance on how crypto mining businesses can obtain commercial licenses and operate within the jurisdiction. The document outlines disclosure requirements and explains when activities involving client assets may require separate regulatory permission. The Registration Authority issued the guidance under Section 23 of the Commercial Licensing Regulations 2025, following an eight-week public consultation. The guidance sets out a clear licensing pathway, with supervision tailored to each operation's scale and risks. ADGM plans to develop a broader regulatory framework and further consultation for a later phase.
